That will come right after the doctor talks to their patient about driving etiquette, internet safety, preventive home maintenance, stranger-danger, fiscal responsibility, and the importance of keeping the Democrats in power….

Doctor: Because the CDC estimates there are over 31,000 deaths per year in this country involving guns in some manner.

Patient: Did the CDC compare those to deaths caused by doctors? I means, if you google “iatrogenisis” (= “originating from a physician”), Wikipedia notes that “there are, in the U.S., estimated deaths per year of:
12,000 due to unnecessary surgery
7,000 due to medication errors in hospitals
20,000 due to other errors in hospitals
80,000 due to nosocomial (hospital-acquired) infections
106,000 due to non-error, negative effects of drugs

Based on these figures, iatrogenesis may cause 225,000 deaths per year in the United States (excluding recognizable error).[17]

These estimates are lower than those in an earlier report, which would suggest from 230,000 to 284,000 iatrogenic deaths.[17]

These figures . . . are based on recorded deaths in hospitals rather than in the general population.”
